Bastard finally comes good after all this time, has a BE of 2 and is going to be MIA for the best part of 2 months. My big brain play was he’d miss origin selection and THEN get the banner this week for Hal’s Haasholes.

Can someone please tell me he is a definite trade out - I seem to be irrationally wed to him.

I haven't looked at how Haas goes but I think last year he carried a shoulder issue, didn't he?

If haas is fully fit he basically doesn't need a rest. He's a machine. I'd say the Broncos will do their best to manage it but if they're starting to slip on the ladder and the games are tight, I doubt he's resting too much.

He wil play less mins in origin than a normal club game anyway, but yeah its just the turn-around time from origin to club that is an issue.

Something to note, you will have 17 exactly based on those trades for round 14

If Teddy or Cleary don't back up then you are playing with 16 (Koula,Hopgood,Ponga,Matterson have byes rd14)

Ahhh true, I forgot about the shoulder issue last year. I might be thinking of some of the halves like Cleary/DCE who I am sure have had high scoring games backing up.

Just fighting the urge to trade Haas, I just see it backfiring for me later.

I feel like Haas is the kind of guy who comes out and gets 80 backing up from Origin. Especially after a loss.

I think I might keep Loiero for a while as well, he may not be a top shelf scorer but he is a consistent 40+ scorer, I feel like he might be the last of my upgrades.

Fuck em.

Have thought of this mate, and running the risk (currently). Plan is one of the Warriors edges will go for a WFB, probably Drinky.

I may still change one of my trade outs to include Matto   or someone like Hors/JFH in instead of Hopgood

I doubt Horse scores as well on the EDG.

If BSmith is Brandon, he’s out for 6-8 weeks. He’s a trade.
Check your Rd 16 numbers.
I’m thinking Robson instead of Cook due to this.

Looks like he's planned Cheese out for Cook mate.
